There are certain rules one must abide by in order to successfully survive a horror movie: grab
popcorn, and your favorite slasher outfit (inspired by the 80s and 90s, of course). Movies like
Scream (1996), I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), Evil Dead (2013), and Friday the
13th (1980) give us all the chills on a rainy summer day. They feel nostalgic and give the perfect
amount of fall feelings when we crave it most in the dead heat. Even more so, the fashion in
some of the movies has inspired an interesting style that contains the nostalgia of the 80s and
90s, but still comfortable enough to wear throughout the summer. Here’s a closer look on the
perfect summerween outfit ideas:
What’s your favorite scary movie? The film Scream uses a multitude of fall sweaters and casual
skirts and jeans to combat the less than casual nature of the film. Though summers are typically
dead hot, the perfect way to cozy up could be a lightweight knit sweater, paired with boxer shorts
or a midi skirt, if you’re on the go running from slashers.
I Know What You Did Last Summer plays more on the hot, humid days of summer, maintaining
the late 90s styles of shorter skirts, basic crop tops, and overalls. Another option for days at the
lake, stranded in a small town are easy fitted tops, paired with a mini skirt, or overalls instead.
The casual style outfit is perfect for a day in the town, by the beach, and staying cool, even in the
chance you become a part of a summer slasher.
Friday the 13th gives the early 80s feel, with ringer tees, short shorts, and sportswear used as
leisure. To combat the 80s vibe, outfit ideas can include a vintage sports tee or ringer tee paired
again with flannel shorts, or striped baseball shorts. When styled with longer socks and a pair of
sneakers, you’d be prepared to run away from Jason Voorhees, go for a walk, or spend some time
getting ice cream on a hot day.
Summer slasher movies are the greatest mixture of cozy, chilling, and nostalgic. The outfits
emphasize this even more, and with a resurgence of 80s and 90s styles, I think the perfect
preparation is inspiration for these outfits perfect to wear while binging movies on a rainy day,
out on a lake, beach, talking a walk, lounging, really anything, as long as it’s summerween!
